RELATED TRENDS

• Things getting bigger, smaller and everywhere• Big data• Mobility• Gadgetization - fitbit• Domotics – home automation• Internet of things• 3.4×1038 IPV6 addresses • 1.33*1050 atoms in the world• Est 20~30 billion connect devices

ELECTRONIC PROTOTYPING PLATFORMS

Options for physical computing• Gadgeteer, .NET, C#/VB, Easy• Arduino, Wiring, C++ like, real-time• Raspberry Pi, Linux based

WHAT IS THE .NET MICRO FRAMEWORK?

• Spun off from SPOT (Small Person Object Technology)

• Open Source .NET Platform for resource constrained devices• Devices with a 32-bit processor and as little as 64K RAM

• Subset of .NET ~70 classes, ~400 methods, WCF, WPF, SOAP, WSDL

• CLR, Type System, Managed, Threads, Events, Exceptions

• Use Visual Studio as the IDE plus Emulator

• Program in C# or VB.NET – no generics

• Same code runs on any NetMF device with minimal changes

• Full debugging capabilities

• Emulator, Breakpoints, Stepping, Variables, Stack Traces

WHAT IS .NET GADGETEER

• Open Source prototyping Pluggable Platform• http://gadgeteer.codeplex.com/

• Runs .NET Micro Framework• Limited electronics
